Never Come Back

Museum depots, often hidden from the public eye, serve as the backdrop for Gruber's "Never Come Back," which explores complex art legacies, from Nazism to modernism. Amid the repository's cage-like confines, a nude musician reflects this tension, drawing inspiration from works marked by exoticism, local patriotism, religious zeal, and eroticism. He plays a familiar melody, a song known to many, recognizable from dance floors across Europe - but how many of us have ever bothered to listen to its remarkably imperialistic lyrics?
